Individeo was a developer that made Atari 2600 conversions for Coleco. The two released cartridges filed under its name here are both arcade ports. Mr. Do! (1983), programmed by Ed English, has a clown digging tunnels through an orchard and dropping apples on the creatures chasing him. Front Line (1984), with programming credited to Ed Temple, is a version of Taito’s overhead war game, mixing foot combat with tank battles. Two unreleased Coleco projects by Ed Temple at Individeo, Looping and Cabbage Patch Kids, are listed under his name.

Front Line is the 1984 Atari 2600 version of Taito’s 1982 arcade game, published by Coleco and developed by Individeo, with programming credited to Ed Temple. You lead a lone soldier up a battlefield seen from above, fighting infantry and tanks on the way to an enemy fort. The arcade original was one of the first overhead run-and-gun games, and this cartridge keeps its mix of foot combat and tank battles. You can play it here in your browser, with nothing to install.
Mr. Do! is Coleco’s 1983 Atari 2600 version of Universal’s arcade maze game from 1982. You play a clown who digs tunnels through an orchard, picks cherries and fights off the creatures chasing him with falling apples and a bouncing Power Ball. The 2600 cartridge was developed by Individeo and programmed by Ed English. It leaves out some details of the arcade game, but the digging, apple-dropping and ball-throwing that make Mr. Do! fun are all still there.
